Description

We're so excited to welcome The Wobblers back to the Commons Stage! For over 13 years The Wobblers have been a cornerstone of the Upstate South Carolina music scene, earning a dedicated cult following as one of the region’s most distinct and original-sounding acts. This powerhouse ensemble features a four-piece horn section, piano, organ, guitar, bass, and drums, delivering a high-energy performance that is as professional as it is soulful. Their expansive repertoire is a dynamic mix of original compositions and eclectic, soul-infused covers. Rooted in the spirit of New Orleans, their sound blends brassy textures and "second line" rhythms—anchored by drummer Patrick Riley—with edgy jazz elements reminiscent of visionaries like Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Sun Ra, and Thelonious Monk. At any given moment, their music might pivot to evoke the legendary songwriting of The Kinks, The Band, Elvis Costello, or the indie-soul sensibilities of Dr. Dog and NRBQ. 

Groovin’ on The Green is FREE and takes place rain or shine on the Commons Lawn at The Village Green. Food and beverage vendors will be available at each concert and concert-goers are welcome to bring their own picnics and coolers. Please bring your own lawn chairs and blankets; personal tents are not allowed at Groovin’. 

Groovin’ on The Green is free and open to the public, however, donations are collected to directly support The Village Green, a 501c3 nonprofit park system that relies on grants and donations to offer our programming. Your donation helps keep Groovin’ on The Green alive year after year!
